The restaurant's original location is in Kikusuiro, a revered ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant), in Nara Prefecture. Opened in 1891, the venue has long been a favorite for many notable guests from Japan and abroad. In 2016, Kikusuiro opened Eel Restaurant Unakiku to bring exceptional, seasonal eel to more people.
Now, the renowned menu is coming to central Tokyo, providing guests the opportunity to taste the same recipes handed down for more than 130 years without having to travel to Nara. Guests can also dine while appreciating Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo's iconic Japanese garden, abundant with nature.
Diners can enjoy kabayaki, a dish where the eel is grilled slowly over charcoal and dipped in marinade. Shirayaki is another beloved grilled eel dish, using kombu sake and served with wasabi soy sauce or salt. One of the most popular menu items is 'Ainoseju,' which offers diners the opportunity to try both kabayaki and shirayaki eel.
The restaurant will also offer a menu item only available at its Tokyo location. Served in an iron pot, the Unagi Tetsunabe Mabushi can be enjoyed three ways and is designed to be shared in a group. The Tokyo location will also feature an exclusive, newly arranged eel course.
The restaurant will be open every day from 11:00-15:00 (last order) and 17:00- 21:00 (last order). More information can be found on their website: https://www.kikusuiro.com/unakiku-tokyo

Boxhub Secures $12.4M Series A to Modernize Global Shipping Container Trade
Boxhub's Leadership Team
(L-R) Bryan McEire, CTO; Maximilian Birner, Co-Founder & CEO; Tarun Somani, COO
TORONTO & NEW YORK, June 28, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Boxhub, the largest online marketplace for shipping containers in the United States, has successfully raised a $12.4 million Series A on its mission to revolutionize how shipping containers are traded and used worldwide. The funds will fuel Boxhub's international expansion and industry-shaping product development.
The investment round was led by early-stage venture fund AlleyCorp, with participation from Solasta Ventures, Interplay VC, FJ Labs, and Hum Capital. Boxhub has welcomed AlleyCorp Partner Susannah Shipton to its Board of Directors.
"The global shipping industry relies on antiquated systems ripe for technological advancement. The heavily manual processes underpinning shipping container trade are no exception," said Boxhub co-founder and CEO Maximilian Birner. "Boxhub is already the largest online container marketplace in the U.S., and we're thrilled to partner with top-tier venture capital firms to continue our exciting period of hyper-growth."
Boxhub was founded in 2017 as a digital platform for B2C and B2B shipping container transactions, radically modernizing an industry reliant on ledgers, emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls to transact. The company uses automation and a localized logistics network to introduce shipping containers retired from international trade to a booming secondary market. This approach streamlines a complex, multi-stakeholder fulfillment system and eliminates the need for shipping lines and leasing companies to undertake "empty repositioning," a process estimated to cost the shipping industry $20 billion annually.
"Boxhub is one of those special marketplaces with myriad different categories of buyers and sellers, all of whom were deeply underserved by the incumbent and outdated process of doing business in the global container trade," said Susannah Shipton, Partner at AlleyCorp. "Boxhub's transparent, efficient marketplace not only transforms the dynamics of the existing market, but also substantially broadens access to container supply, for which there is serious and growing demand."
Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19 and global container shortages, Boxhub has experienced exponential growth over the last few years. The company has established a diverse portfolio of enterprise container buyers ranging from retailers and construction firms with portable storage needs to non-profits creating children's libraries and emergency healthcare clinics.
Beyond large-scale businesses, Boxhub has become fiercely popular with consumers undertaking container-based upcycling initiatives such as tiny houses, vertical farms, home offices, workshops, and swimming pools. The company maintains a 4.7/5-star ("Excellent") average Trustpilot rating.
In 2022, Boxhub raised a $2.4 million seed round led by Delivery Hero founder and CEO Niklas Östberg, with participation from Unity Technologies founder David Helgason; Uber founding engineer Conrad Whelan; and Innoport, the VC arm of maritime leader Schulte Group, among others.
About Boxhub
Boxhub is an e-commerce and logistics platform enabling the frictionless purchase, sale, and delivery of shipping containers. Founded in 2017, the online marketplace has become a trusted partner for thousands of container buyers across the United States. By extending the life of containers and reducing the need for empty repositioning, Boxhub aims to build a more sustainable world — one container at a time. For more information, visit boxhub.com.

Double the Clouds: Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo Gets an ‘Ultimate’ Summer Refresh
Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo - Ultimate Sea of Clouds
The luxury urban resort is debuting its 'Ultimate Sea of Clouds' and other summer events July 3, 2023.
TOKYO, June 20, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo announces its summer-long event, the Ultimate Sea of Clouds, launching Monday, July 3rd. Visitors can take a break from the summer heat and refresh in the hotel's traditional Japanese garden, where the award-winning Tokyo Sea of Clouds will have twice the amount of mist as usual.
The Tokyo Sea of Clouds debuted in 2020 as part of the first phase of the hotel's Garden Project, a series of projects created to celebrate the hotel's 70th anniversary. In 2023, it made its mark globally when the "Tokyo Sea of Clouds and the Seven Seasons" won the Urban/Landscape Architecture category of the iF Design Awards, one of the world's oldest and most prestigious design awards.
At regular intervals throughout the day, the entire garden is shrouded in mist, creating an effect that is usually only seen from mountaintops under certain weather conditions. The sea of clouds is such a rare view that it is considered a miracle to witness it even once. With double the amount of mist, this summer's Ultimate Sea of Clouds takes it up a notch, making the garden even more alive and dynamic than usual.
Also on display from July 3rd is 'wind chime alley,' where approximately 300 Edo-style wind chimes will be arranged along a pathway in the garden, immersing guests in the sounds of summer. In addition, the hotel is hosting a competition where Ultimate Sea of Clouds-themed sweets will go head-to-head in a friendly battle.
The hotel is also preparing a special dessert for the occasion. The Lemon Tokyo Sea of Clouds Zuccotto comprises a ricotta cheese-based cassata cream that is wrapped in a fluffy white sponge, topped with cloud-like Chantilly cream, and finished with powdered sugar. It is available for purchase at the hotel shop or as part of the dinner course at Il Teatro.
You can see more information about the Ultimate Sea of Clouds and related events on the hotel website or on their YouTube channel.
